Be sure to measure before you order!  The size and scale was perfect for my space, but I can see where it would be overwhelming in a smaller home/apartment.  I love the finish and though it had a mild smell, it was nothing overpowering.  It's a great size for storage (I have about 4-5 lap quilts and throws in there with room to spare.)  The legs were a little beat up but nothing that was really visible once it was in my space.  I used it between a loveseat and couch to break up all the brown leather. This piece is the perfect solution to bring some warmth and texture to my space while still looking finished (and not just a basket on the floor).
